About this collection
Most of these pieces, from our solid granite Hanuman to the sandstone Buddha statues, weigh anywhere between 5kg and 25kg. They are built to last generations, not just seasons. When you pick a piece, think about where it will sit—granite needs a sturdy, flat base, while our lighter wooden or sandstone pieces can add grace to a foyer or a quiet reading corner.
Our Approach to Sacred Art
Our collection is about 'Kai kelasa'—work of the hand. We collaborate directly with Shilpakala students in Karnataka and master carvers in Tamil Nadu to bring temple artistry into your living space. We believe that an idol is not just decor; it is an anchor for your home's energy.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each stone carving tells a different story. Our black granite pieces, like the standing Hanuman, are incredibly dense and durable, making them ideal for gardens or high-traffic foyers. The red and pink sandstone statues, often seen in our Pala dynasty-style Buddha carvings, offer a softer, porous texture that develops character over time. For those looking for sacred metalware, we curate Panchaloha idols and copper pieces created using the traditional lost-wax casting method. This technique ensures that no two pieces are identical, preserving the unique signature of the artisan.
Choosing Your Piece
- Tulasi Brindavans: These are central to the courtyard or garden. We offer them in natural stone across various sizes to suit different prayer spaces.
- Spiritual Protectors: From the fierce Nandi to the remover of obstacles, Ganesha, these statues are often placed at entrances to ground the home's energy.
- Meditative Figures: If you are creating a zen corner, our sandstone Buddha statues in dharmachakra mudra provide a focal point for stillness.
We handle the sourcing, checking, and logistics, ensuring these heavy, delicate pieces arrive safely at your doorstep in Bengaluru. If you are unsure about placement or weight bearing, just send us a photo of your space. We can guide you on which statue fits the scale of your room or garden.
